Adding tool buttons

Let us examine some batch results. In trials in which 5 mL of a dye solution was added by pipet (with pressure) to 10 mL of water in a 25-mL flask, which was shaken to mix (as determined visually), and the mixed solution was delivered into a 3-mL rectangular cuvette, it was found that = 3-5 s, 2-4 s, and /obs 3-5 s. This is characteristic of conventional batch operation. Simple modifications can reduce this dead time. Reaction vessels designed for photometric titrations - may be useful kinetic tools. For reactions that are followed spectrophotometrically this technique is valuable Make a flat button on the end of a 4-in. length of glass rod. Deliver 3 mL of reaction medium into the rectangular cuvette in the spectrophotometer cell compartment. Transfer 10-100 p.L of a reactant stock solution to the button on the rod. Lower this into the cuvette, mix the solution with a few rapid vertical movements of the rod, and begin recording the dead time will be 3-8 s. A commercial version of the stirrer is available. 

If you were successful, the database should be added to the list as shown above. Click the OK button to close the ODBC tool. Next, we need to run Oread Capture CIS and select the database ... 

Adding or subtracting FIDs is only possible with 1D WIN-NMR and is accomplished with the File Algebra option in the Process pull-down menu. A dialog box allows you to select the second file and to specify whether FIDs or spectra should be added/subtracted. At the same time the screen is horizontally split into three regions with the original spectrum at the top, the second spectrum in the middle and the result of the arithmetic operation at the bottom. A new button panel appears where several specific options are available (Fig. 5.27). In contrast to the Dual Display function, available in the Display pull-down menu and discussed in chapter 4, more options exist with File Algebra, i.e. to store the result or to move one of the traces with respect to the other. Use the Help tool for more information. 

The database file as a table object can be opened from the activated Table tab for manipulation. For examples, fields (columns) can be added from the Datasheet view by clicking the right edge of the existing column and then selecting Column from Insert menu. This brings a new column (labeled Field 1) or columns (repeated selection of Column option). Double click the new column to enter the field name. Records (rows) can be added also from the Datasheet view after clicking New record button on the tool bar. 

Fig. 4. View of the Matrix Genome Comparison window of BugView. The figure shows a comparison of two marine cyanobacterial genomes in which only pairs with at least 40% local identity are displayed. A couple of annotations have been made, and a few horizontal and vertical guidelines have been added. These latter can be moved by their square handles or deleted by alt-clicking. A rectangular selection has been made with the selection tool (highlighted), and clicking on the Transfer button would take the user to the corresponding region in the main display window.

In Excel 97 and later versions, embedding a button in a toolbar can be done quite easily, by adding two small macros that operate automatically whenever a workbook is opened or closed. The following macros, when added to the macro Interpolate ), will insert a button labeled Interpolation in the Tools menu when a workbook is opened that contains this macro, and will remove the button again upon closing that workbook. 

The Favorites folder in the ACID Explorer window is also an amazingly simple and useful tool. Select any folder and click the Add to Favorites button to add the entire folder to the ACID Favorites folder. Adding drum rolls and fills to the Favorites folder is a good example since these types of loops can be found in a number of different libraries and it can be hard to remember which library has the particular roll you need.
